I applied online. I interviewed at Optiver in Jul 2025
Interview
Phone interview over Zoom with technical hirer. This was a 30 minute interview consisting of general behavioural and resume check and work background. Expect your most relevant experience/project to be asked.
A bit anxiety inducing, there were two developers observing and asking questions. Real-time problem solving required, conducted on Hacker Rank virtually, video and mic enabled - quite nervewracking to say the least
